Open a Capsule

The Capsule browser is the first screen to open after logging into a Board Platform: all the Capsules and folders that you can access are displayed as tiles. Read about the Board workspace for more information.

To open a Capsule, the action to take is different between Play and Design modes:

• Play mode. Left-click on the tile to open a Capsule to view and interact with it in Play mode.

• Design mode. Right-click the Capsule tile and select "Edit in Design mode" to open the Capsule on its Home Screen that provides all the functions necessary to configure it and add or modify Screen Objects, provided the user has the appropriate Board license and authorizations in place.

When you open a Capsule, you will always land on its Home Screen. The Home Screen should explain the Capsule’s purpose and content: for example, it may be useful to add some introductory text and a diagram illustrating how the Capsule is organized. You can always choose which Screen is the Home Screen for that Capsule from the Capsule Properties page or from the Capsule Screen list in Design mode, by right-clicking on the Screen name and by selecting "Set as Home screen".

Capsules can also be opened from:

• The Favorites page, accessed through the Main Menu. This list includes all of the Capsules that you have marked as favorites by right-clicking on the tile and selecting "Add to favorites".

• The Recents page, accessed through the Main Menu. This list includes all of the Capsules that you have recently opened.

• The Search results page. When you perform a search using Board's internal search engine, the search results page will display all Capsule tiles that match the key phrase you typed, along with Presentations, Screens, and Slides.
